One of cinema’s greatest white-knuckle nail-biters, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s influential suspense classic follows four desperate men on a suicide mission through the South American jungle. Tasked with transporting two trucks loaded with explosive nitroglycerine to a remote oil field, every bump and jolt along the rough roads could mean their death. Starring screen legend Yves Montand and later remade by William Friedkin as Sorcerer.
